President Xi Jinping paid a state visit to w88 casino States from September 22 to 25, and then went to w88 casino Nations Headquarters in New York to attend a series of summits marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of w88 casino Nations from September 26 to 28. This is Xi Jinping's first state visit to w88 casino States since taking office as Chinese President, and also his first visit to w88 casino Nations Headquarters. The "diplomatic debut" of China's top leader has attracted great attention at home and abroad, and Xi Jinping's visit to w88 casino States is also full of many eye-catching diplomatic highlights.
Highlight 1: Internet Diplomacy
With the advent of the Internet+ era, China and w88 casino States have been constantly at odds over network security issues in recent years, and from time to time they have become tense and hot in the headlines. Whether it is a written interview with the Wall Street Journal on the eve of his departure, the 8th China-US Internet Forum in Seattle, the first stop of his visit to w88 casino States, or the joint press conference held by President Xi Jinping and President Obama, network security has always been a hot topic that cannot be avoided.
President Xi Jinping has made several statements to explain China’s principled position and emphasized that China and w88 casino States should conduct constructive dialogue on cybersecurity issues and jointly create new highlights of cooperation.The "General Manager" of China's Internet and Director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, who accompanied President Xi Jinping on his visit, also gave a keynote speech titled "Mutual Benefit and Win-Win, Navigating the Future" at the China-US Internet Forum where industry giants gathered. He pointed out that China and w88 casino States have complementary advantages and deep integration in cyberspace, and mutual benefit and win-win are inevitable choices in history. These heavyweight diplomatic statements on cyber security issues are transmitted through the Internet, which helps clarify the outside world's misunderstandings and even demonization of China, and greatly eliminates the negative impact of the "China cyber threat theory" on China's national image.
Highlight 2: Economic Diplomacy
China and the United States are two "big guys" on the current international stage, accounting for one-third of the world's total economic volume and one-fifth of the world's w88 volume. Economic and w88 exchanges have always been close, and interdependence is increasingly deepening. Close economic relations have always been regarded as the "ballast" and "booster" for the stable development of Sino-US bilateral relations. Deepening Sino-US economic and w88 cooperation is of great significance not only to the development of the two countries but also to world prosperity.
The first stop of Xi Jinping’s visit to w88 casino States is Seattle, known as the “Valley of the Clouds”It’s not that “having money means being willful”, but because Seattle is the headquarters of many large American high-tech companies such as Microsoft, Boeing, and Amazon. Xi Jinping visited Boeing's commercial aircraft manufacturing plant, and China also ordered 300 Boeing aircraft from Boeing. Due to the differences in their respective development stages, the Chinese and American economies are highly complementary. The Sino-US Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIT) negotiations need to be accelerated, and the space for economic and w88 cooperation between the two sides will continue to expand in the future. With the in-depth expansion of economic diplomacy, Sino-US economic and w88 relations will surely play a more powerful role as a link and communication bridge in the process of building a new type of major-country relationship between China and the United States.
Highlight 3: Public Diplomacy
Public diplomacy emphasizes a kind of "spiritual politics", advocating two-way communication with the public of the target country through carefully designed activities, demonstrating strong national soft power, shaping a good national image, and thus achieving twice the result with half the effort and a winding path to enhance national interests. It is not difficult to see that public diplomacy was placed in a very important position throughout Xi Jinping's visit to w88 casino States.On the second day after arriving in the United States, Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan embarked on a humane and nostalgic trip - visiting Lincoln Middle w88 casino in Tacoma.
The relationship between Xi Jinping and Lincoln Middle w88 casino can be traced back to 22 years ago. Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, visited Tacoma in 1993 and was directly promoted by him to establish a "sister city" between Tacoma and Fuzhou. Since then, the two cities have increasingly frequent exchanges in the fields of education, culture and sports. Revisiting old places, visiting old friends and making new friends, Xi Jinping presented a batch of Chinese classical books including "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Tang Poems" and "Song Ci" as gifts to the students of Lincoln Middle w88 casino, as well as table tennis and table tennis tables. He also received a "No. 1" jersey from the students of the w88 casino's football team. There are many scenes like this that hit people's hearts, and the powerful public diplomacy effect they unleash is almost self-evident.
Highlight 4: Summit Diplomacy
As the name suggests, summit diplomacy originally refers to a country’s leader who actually holds the highest decision-making power, usually the head of state or government, who directly participates in and handles foreign affairs in various ways. Summit diplomacy occupies a very important position in the history of world diplomacy and is also one of the most active forms of diplomacy in China's diplomacy today.This Xi Jinping’s first state visit to w88 casino States is another historic meeting between the two heads of state after the “Annenberg Manor Walk” and the “Yingtai Night Talk”, if nothing else goes wrong, this may be the last state visit that President Obama will receive from China’s top leader in the more than one year left in his term.
As the two most powerful leaders in the world today, whether it is bilateral disputes such as the South China Sea issue, exchange rate issues, network security issues, and bilateral investment agreement issues, or regional hot issues such as the Iranian nuclear issue, the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, the Syrian issue, and the Afghan issue, or global public issues such as climate change, energy resources, terrorism, and international refugees, they all need in-depth exchanges and extensive cooperation. To a certain extent, summit diplomacy can circumvent the red tape of foreign affairs etiquette and the minutiae of technical negotiations. Through the friendship established between Xi and Austria, it will not only help resolve the current focus of conflicts between the two countries, but also help set the tone for future cooperation between the two countries.
Highlight Five: Multilateral Diplomacy
After successfully concluding his state visit to w88 casino States, Xi Jinping and his delegation left Washington by special plane and went to w88 casino Nations Headquarters in New York to attend a series of summits on the 70th anniversary of the founding of w88 casino Nations. For the first time at w88 casino Nations Headquarters, they comprehensively elaborated on the concept of a new type of international relations with win-win cooperation as the core, and systematically proposed China's initiative to build a community with a shared future for mankind. If the passionate summit diplomacy is the "highlight" of this visit, then the ingenious multilateral diplomacy is a "landscape" of the visit.On the multilateral diplomatic stage of w88 casino Nations, which attracts worldwide attention, Xi Jinping not only explained clearly the principle that major powers "both benefit from cooperation and lose from confrontation", but also opened up the concerns of relevant countries about developing conflicts with China on issues such as the current international system and regional order. It also clarifies China’s concept of reforming and improving the current international system. As a participant, builder, contributor and beneficiary of the current international system, China intends to promote its development in a more just and reasonable direction and does not mean starting from scratch.
As Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in his speech at the "Blue Hall Forum" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier, President Xi Jinping's visit is a trip to increase trust and resolve doubts, a trip to focus on cooperation, a trip to the people, and a trip to create the future. As one of the five permanent members of w88 casino Nations Security Council, through the multilateral diplomacy of China's top leaders at w88 casino Nations Headquarters, China is getting closer to other countries in the world. The Chinese dream is increasingly integrated with the dreams of other countries and regions. China's positive energy of peaceful development and win-win cooperation is accelerating.
In addition to the above five major diplomatic highlights, there are other highlights such as "First Lady Diplomacy", "Panda Diplomacy", "Cultural Diplomacy", etc. It is left to the readers to discover carefully.
